A step into the
‘real’ world
My exciting start as intern at VBAT
Hi there! My name is Laura and I am a third year graphic design student at the St. Joost Academy in Den Bosch, the Netherlands. A part of my study is my internship at VBAT Amsterdam from April till July 2015.
Last year I studied one semester at the School of Art in Cambridge which was an amazing experience. I did one module of Graphic Futures and one module of Analogue Photography. Cambridge is a lovely city which is not really big but there is a great atmosphere with a lot of students. I love to live in an environment like that. But for now, I’m travelling to Amsterdam every day and that’s nice too!
So, last week I started at VBAT. It was a little bit exciting because it is a leading agency with a lot of people. But the first impression was really good! On my first day, I shook almost sixty hands and remember ten names by now. My colleagues are really open, kind and want to tell you what they are working on.
I have to be honest with you, I was a bit afraid there would be a sort of arrogance between the people because of the big brands and stuff. But there was not!
For me, it first felt like I was in a candy shop (when I was little of course). You know that feeling? There are so many great clients, briefings and inspiration! I was a bit overwhelmed the first day. For now, I am settled down a bit, discover what everybody is doing and how this company works. I am really excited about the next few months!
